On May 18th, 2017, Cisco, the world’s largest network equipment manufacturer, announced another 1100 layoffs. Cisco is taking corresponding measures to solve the current situation of lower-than-expected revenue.
People engaged in network related work know that Cisco should be an authority in the field of network. In the past, spoto CCNA, CCNP and CCIE Certifications were generally the best weapon for job hunting when you go to a network company for an interview. I remember a senior student who said that he almost failed all subjects in college, with only a full score of network subject. Later, with his own efforts, he went to Hong Kong to obtain CCIE Certification (there seemed to be no examination point in China at that time), and the cost of the examination was quite high. At that time, the certificate was still attachable. He can get USD 800 a month.
However, with the rise of domestic equipment, Huawei, ZTE and other communication equipment manufacturers began to occupy the domestic market. Huawei expanded the market all over the world, and the state also began to support domestic manufacturers. Cisco began to decline. Now the value of Cisco CCIE Certification is very low, which can be obtained almost with money, while Huawei HCIE Certification requires the interview.
At present, the advantages of learning Huawei HCIE Certification are: more equipment, exam in Chinese, attachable HCIE, numbers relatively in the front, and small number of people passing the certification in China. Disadvantages: low foreign recognition.
The advantages of learning Cisco CCIE Certification are: high foreign recognition, high general recognition and relatively easy to pass.
The disadvantages are: exam in English, uneven level, proliferation of certificates and reduction of domestic equipment.
In a word: the value of the two has its own advantages. Cisco exam is in English, and those who are not good at English can give up directly.
Huawei is well-known in China. Cisco does not occupy as much market in China as Huawei. It can be seen that Huawei occupies a large proportion in China.
And as we all know, with the fast development of Huawei in recent years, Huawei has been labeled patriotic in the mind of Chinese people, including the comparison with Apple some time ago. Huawei accounts for a large proportion in China.
Therefore, Huawei’s advanced certificate is relatively difficult to obtain and has high value. The certificates of domestic Huawei, ZTE and other manufacturers are also gradually recognized.
Is Cisco down?
It is reported that Cisco is taking measures to transform itself into a software-centered company. Cisco’s focus is shifting to high growth areas, such as information security, the Internet of things and cloud computing. However, Cisco’s information security field is really good. With the bitcoin blackmail virus incident earlier, Cisco’s information security business has indeed increased a lot.
However, I personally believe that the advantage of Cisco is that the equipment is quite stable and durable, which is really unmatched by ordinary manufacturers. Therefore, the failure rate of Cisco equipment is very low. If it is not for the national boycott, maybe Cisco will occupy the Chinese market forever.
Therefore, I dare say: our Cisco will not decline!
